(outfits are at the end)

Rhea

I stare at myself in the mirror of the guest bedroom.

I feel awkward, as I always do when I wear a dress. I feel like I can't breathe, and my boobs are pushed too close to my face. Not to mention, the heels give you blisters for days.

Wearing blazers, and dress pants is better, I can actually walk.

This dress is pretty, but I feel like I might trip if I walk too fast.

But damn, I do look good.

My black hair reaches to my mid-back, while the blue spring-like dress clings to my figure. The heels make my feet ache, but it's dull, since I've had practice in heels.

Yesterday, while Gabriel went to work, I went out and bought a cheap mascara, at least until I can get more money. Which I need to speak to Bellie about, but I don't know how.

I'll have to tell her Allen is dead, and I'm not fond of giving her that news.

No matter, right now, I need to focus on getting to the King and Queen.

Which will be difficult, especially since there will be so many people, but it's a perfect opportunity.

"Rhea! It's time to go!" I hear Gabriel yell from downstairs.

I smile. I'm so close to succeeding, and it's liberating.

I make my way down the creaky stairs I've become familiar with.

I see Gabriel, in a light gray suit, while his hair is parted in the middle, leaving little hairs to curl inward.

It's unbelievable how attractive a man can be.

"Fucking shit," he mutters when he sees me. I laugh, "Well, how do I look?"

He gulps, he looks like he's almost drooling on himself. "Great. Sorry, god, you look so beautiful."

I grin, "I'm going to take that as a good response."

He smiles, walking over to me, placing a gentle, but slightly hungry kiss on my lips.

Still feeling a little bit cautious of him, I stiffen a little.

He stops, looking straight into my eyes with a worried expression. "What's wrong?" He questions, holding my hands.

"Nothing. Nothing at all," I lie.

"Somethings wrong, what is it? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, it's just a tag, it's poking my back," I quickly lie.

He stares at me for a second, "Okay, do you want me to fix it?"

I nod, "Yeah, please."

He turns me around, sliding his hand into the back of my dress. He pushes the tag around, "Is that better?" He asks.

I nod, "Thank you."

"Yeah, of course," he mumbles, his tone sounding uneasy.

Shit. I can't risk him thinking somethings off with me.

I turn around, and pull him in for a kiss, executing it with the perfect amount of gentleness and lust.

His lips melt against mine, almost naturally.

Almost.

Think, come up with something! Hurry!

"You taste good," I whisper into his lips.
